Just because Captain America: Civil War has already started filming, it doesn't mean the movie can't keep adding cast members.

And that's exactly what directors Joe and Anthony Russo have done: According to The Wrap, the filmmaking brothers have recruited beloved Sherlock and The Hobbit star Martin Freeman for their already monster-sized cast.

Marvel is keeping the identity of Freeman's character a secret for now, so we don't know if he'll play someone who will show up in multiple movies or is just on board for a one-off.

Here's a statement from the official press release:

"From his roles as Bilbo Baggins and Doctor Watson to Tim in The Office, Martin’s range from the dramatic to the comedic has consistently impressed us,” said Captain America: Civil War producer Kevin Feige. “We couldn’t be more honored or excited to have such a talented actor join the Marvel Cinematic Universe.”
